We Remember

JUROME, William (Bill) Bradley

April 22, 1930 — March 29, 2018

William Bradley (Bill) Jurome passed away peacefully March 29, 2018, at the age of 87. He is predeceased by his first wife of 50 years Eleanor (Lea) Jurome, his brothers Alex Jurassovich, Edward Jurome and sister Mary Henning.  Bill is survived by his second wife, Brenda, his three children Narda (Steve), David (Glennys), Collier and his seven grandchildren Devin (Britany), Bailey (Alyson), Brayden, Cassandra, Jaxon, Jayda and Jarvis and one special great grandchild Anneke.

Bill was born in Kelowna and raised on a fruit farm in the Belgo District. He lived his life to the fullest, pursuing his many passions including: fishing, boating, hiking, skiing, photography and painting.  As a landscape artist in the Okanagan Valley, he took great pride in sharing his talents with his children and grandchildren.  He touched the lives of many through his various careers as a fruit grower of apples, cherries and grapes, journeyman electrician, publisher, real estate agent and land developer.  Bill contributed to his community and was involved in many land developments in the early days of Rutland, Black Mountain and the Joe Rich area.

As a family man, he was loving and compassionate. Throughout his life, his family enjoyed countless hours of boating and swimming with friends on the Okanagan Lake.  Many summers were also spent exploring and cruising the west coast shores of BC, winters were spent south of the border hiking desert canyons and trails.  There was no slowing Bill down, once he had an idea, his positive outlook, combined with his focus and drive, enabled him to successfully accomplish many of his goals.  Bill was a man of his word, with high standards and integrity.  He will be so greatly missed by his family and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House.

    Hi Narda, David, Collier, Brenda and your families. I cannot express my sadness in loosing my good friend Bill. Since meeting Lea and him on Silver Star in the 1970s we have spent many an adventure together through life. With his generosity he taught me boating, fishing, clamming. His gentle persuasion eventually had me leave policing to become a Commercial realtor. This finally gave me a chance to pay back only a small bit of all your family’s generosity. He was always full of life and the first off my boat to dig clams right up to last year. I will truly miss having his gin martinis and clam chowder with him. He is still the best!

    David, Narda, Collier and families,
    I was saddened to hear of your dad’s passing. I have many fond memories of times spent with your family, fishing in the mission creek at Falcon Ridge subdivision, boating on Okanagan Lake, Christmas parties, and making apple pies at the Belgo house with your mom and dad. Bill will always be remembered as my best emloyer, working for him for ten years were a pleasure. My sincere condolences, RIP Bill.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
